The Summer Wine Vibe: Keep It Light, Crisp, and Cool
Hot weather wines are all about balance and refreshment. You want options that are:
- Lower in alcohol (less heat, more hydration)
- Higher in acidity (hello, crisp and zesty)
- Fruit-forward (think bright berries, tropical notes, citrus vibes)
That’s exactly where Love Cork Screw shines. Our wines are not only crowd-pleasers, but each bottle is thoughtfully crafted to complement moments that matter, especially the ones that take place under the summer sun.

“Good Times Good Friends” Pinot Grigio
Our Pinot Grigio is the definition of crisp. Expect apple, pear, and citrus layered in a smooth finish. It’s the kind of bottle that disappears quickly, so don’t say we didn’t warn you.

- Perfect for: Garden parties, beach reads, or when you’re hosting and want to impress without stress.
“The Morning After” Chardonnay

- Perfect for: Brunch on the deck, sunset dinners, or actually enjoying the morning after.
Why Love Cork Screw Is That Brand for Summer
Let’s be real, wine can feel a little exclusive. But at Love Cork Screw, we’re rewriting the rules. Our mission is simple: to make wine inclusive, easy, and fun for everyone, especially for communities who’ve been historically left out of the conversation.
Here’s how we do it:
- Minority-Owned & Proud: Less than 1% of wine businesses are Black and woman-owned. We’re part of that 1%, and we’re here to make space for more.
- Clear Labels, Real Talk: Every bottle includes full nutritional information—something almost no other wine brands do. We believe you should know what you’re sipping, especially if you’re mindful of what you consume.
- Award-Winning & Delicious: Just because we’re fun doesn’t mean we don’t take wine seriously. We’ve got the flavor to back up our flair.
